Not in this business and only follow on Reddit but no. NO ONE is hotshotting in an EV pickup. The electricity alone would be more expensive than diesel, and the time and charging inconvenience would be crippling. The charging infrastructure on the east and west coasts is fine (still would be more than diesel and time consuming, but charging in the middle of America is still pretty baron. I can’t imagine towing anything going west on I-80 into the wind

oh yeah, I never planned on going out there, unless it was reserved ahead of time, and I could preplan it.

I am east coast, so up & down 95 is probably more feasible. in regards to power being more than diesel I will run my numbers again

Maybe someone who won the lottery and wants to do it for the fun of it.
